Aquarelle und Zeichnungen von Carsten Wieland

Autumn coming

Today I finished my painting a few minutes before I had to leave for work. It was great that I could finish the painting but I had to leave my apartment in a great hurry. When I arrived at the office I found out that my key is missing. Shock!!! I decided to take my break before I even started to work and drive back home, praying that I just left the key in my apartment´s door. And luckily the key was still in the lock outside my apartment. When I see this watercolor I probably have to think about my key in future.

It was nice to paint another full sheet after a few weeks. It has been a little bit strenuous to paint this weekend because the temperatures were pretty high and any kind of move was causing sweating. In the evening I decided to finish the painting Monday morning, because it was supposed to be a little bit cooler today. I add some detail pictures to this post, because I think that the watercolor looks much better in real than in the small photo.

Thanks so much, Margaret. I love the Fabriano satin paper. The paints make a pretty nice texture on the surface and the brush glides over it so smooth. Give it a try – I would like to hear what you think about it, too.
